MIX & MATCH claims were misleading.

City AM full page article, 'Average T/O of an M local store is half that of a Tesco Metro due to poor site location'. Required reading. MRW sales down 1.1%- Tesco down 0.9%.

Rude not to, at these prices:)

The right call, IMO. Basically reversing Dolton's belated, ill-judged, desperate leap into convieniance stores. The 150 stores are being sold because they make little or no profit due to crap locations & competition from established rivals on their doorsteps - so let's not pretend they will command a good price. The cash will go into the bigger stores, nothing else.

In full page article - Cam's latest vanity project: Hincukly Point. Chinese/EDF contract to provide tiny capacity Nuke plant producing leccy at Twice the going rate for 35 years, based on a flawed design. Expect big announcement when Chinese visit...

Wonder if Woodford did too? Writing angry letters to HMGOV instead??

- is what we produce even if we burn urea from HMGOV. Our contracts are supposed to be wfitten in blood, so why is Osbourne playing silly buggers ? Is he envouraging M&A? The BOD must have seen this possibility even if us PI didn't, yet they are buying big? The plot thickens... I may top up.

The reason I bought in yonks ago, was the expected bid from Glencore, once it had swallowed Xtrata.

Understand I can make an easy 8.5% if I marry a Director's daughter & lend cash to TRAF - can that be right, they are Builders not a Building Society?

JD: As David Buik has commented, a nation of only 12million could not pay the Interest on outstanding debts, let alone repayments of Capital. Back mirror views of how we arrived at this point are totally irrelevant, diitto conspiracy theories. Perhaps you would like to add Prayer to your Wishing & Hoping platitudes...

Things can only get better, as Blairites used to sing :)

Nuts - creditors being asked to stump up AGAIN, a new hummungus sum, AFTER taking an 82% haircut on the previous one. In return Greece has promised to end austerity for it's population - 25% of whom work for the state. Bets are increasing on Greexit & Greek banks WON't open on Tuesday, IMO.

'For Morrisons the age of expansion was brought to a halt today as it retrenched, spoke wistfully of the bygone era of Sir Ken Morrison's northern based powerhouse and revealed that its venture into convenience stores had been underwhelming.' Some M Stores opened under DP were badly sited & have had to be closed by Potts. M stores programme put on hold - Trust this addresses some of YOUR misconceptions :)

Great idea... but as I have pointed out many times, Aldi & Lidl are PRIVATE companies who tell you sqat & may be making NO Profit at all, in their massively expensive expansion phase.

wrong BB,sorry.

UK utilities, on the other hand, "almost always outperform and significantly, by more or less 6%". Centrica and Severn have done so the most times, but it is Severn Trent and National Grid who have outperformed (both in the Uk and in the sector) by the most in the past, analysts Sofia Savvantidou, Antonella Bianchessi and Akhil Bhatter said.

I repeat, the NORTH is MRW Heartland - that is where the LADs have been on your doorstep for years, eating your lunch, while grandiose Southern expansion via Safways came to grief. - Lose this battle & all is lost.

Bertie - we will think you are talking Balls, if you spell Oracle like Testicle:)

Libel. NO Conclusions as yet Merlin said that since the accident took place, it has been engaged in an investigation of the events which led up to the incident and has been reviewing its safety and operating processes in cooperation with the UK's Health & Safety Executive.

Calls to behead a CEO are ten-a-penny - absolute bojax & simplistic nonsense. Just how does ANY company prepare for events that have never happened before? The CEO won wide praise for his restraint in a totally biased TV interview. If you provide Thrills you will get occasional Spills - a situation as old as the Funfare itself, probably never exactly the same problem re-occurring & rarely such injuries, one hopes.
